This book contains everything you need to decide whether an Apprenticeship is right for you and, more importantly, what Apprenticeship is right for you!

We’re Open Doors Media (you’ve probably seen our Careers World magazine bouncing round your careers office) and we know absolutely

everything about Apprenticeships and careers. That’s why we’ve made this fantastic book, to give students and careers advisors the vital info about all

of them! Apprenticeships are a great way for school leavers to take their first step on the career ladder – because people who do them get experience,

money and qualifications all at the same time.

modules they involve. Over the next couple of pages you’ll find our contents section, which lists all of the different sectors you can do Apprenticeships in. A full list of every single Apprenticeship

you can do is located in our simple index at the back!

As well as what each Apprenticeship involves we also answer some common questions and concerns you might have about Apprenticeships

SERCO FORWARD

The best way to progress in life is to learn, either through day to day experience or through a form of structured training and education. An Apprenticeship offers so many

things to both the individual and to an employer by providing choice through both experience and structured learning.

So why do I believe so strongly in Apprenticeships? Because it offers individuals: a useful skill for life not just a route to pass an exam; a clearer route to employment (which is key when the competition for jobs is so great); training and education that is directly relevant to employment; increased employability by bringing an enhanced skill set to an employer; self fulfilment; self esteem; and probably the most important aspect in life, choice. And finally, you earn while you learn; what more could you ask for?

At Serco our ethos is to invest in our staff and to that end we work very hard to ensure we maximise the number of Apprenticeships available, both to provide support for the local communities, and to ensure we have another route for recruiting and growing the right people with the right skills for our business.

We hope you find this What Apprenticeship booklet useful whilst considering your future career options. Whatever direction you decide to take whether that is an Apprenticeship or something else Serco wish you well for your future.

WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP?

APPRENTICESHIPS EXPLAINED

Apprenticeships are a great opportunity to gain qualifications and workplace experience at the same time. They involve working for an employer while studying for a qualification part time with a training provider or college (usually on day release).

There are over 200 types of Apprenticeships, in a huge range of industry sectors, such as engineering, childcare, veterinary nursing or even stuff you may not have thought of, like ceramic manufacturing. Apprenticeships in every industry result in a vocational qualification (such as a work-based NVQ) and generally fall into the following types:

THE BENEFITS OF APPRENTICESHIPS

As you can see an Apprenticeship is a great way to get qualified, but there are other benefits too:

Apprentices get paid - From October 2012 Apprentices have to be paid a minimum of £2.65 per hour. However, as in most job roles, many apprentices get paid more by their employers as their skills develop. Research has shown that apprentices take home an average of £170 a week. You also get paid holidays and pension contributions just like any other employee. The added bonus is that as long as you’re between 16 and 18 your studies are 100% paid for by the government.

Career progression is excellent for apprentices - Over the course of their careers, those who have completed an Apprenticeship earn, on average, £100,000 more than those without. This is partly because employers realise apprentices have real workplace skills and training. Some Apprenticeships already result in UCAS points or allow you to study for a Technical Certificate. Once you have finished your Apprenticeship there’s the opportunity to carry on working, get promoted or in some cases go on to a higher education course at a college or university.

THERE ARE OVER 275,000 APPRENTICESHIP STARTS IN ENGLAND EACH YEAR

This adviser development programme offered to contact centre staff in Serco has been a great success

Serco Vocational Training’s innovative approach to delivery has enabled the service levels within the Centres to be maintained and has kept the time off the phones to 30 minutes per person per week, and where possible our Assessor staff work with the candidate to gather evidence holistically with 40% of the NVQ coming from Assessor observations of daily activities, 35% from professional discussions and the remaining 25% being mapped from mandatory training and reports for the job role.

I’m really pleased to have been the first person on the Newcastle site to have passed this. I feel I have achieved a lot and I’m really looking forward to getting my certificate.”

CASE STUDY - BABCOCK

Apprentice Faye Gates had already applied to over 150 garages before contacting Grants Seat

in Braintree, Essex. “I knew I wanted to be a service technician since the age of 14 or 15,” she says. “I sent out 150 CVs and only got about 20 replies - and they all said ‘no’. But I was absolutely determined; there was simply nothing else I wanted to do. During this time I went to college and gained a Level 1 NVQ in Service Technician as I thought that this would make garages change their minds and realise that I was serious about my career. Unfortunately, it was old fashioned sexism that was stopping me from securing an apprenticeship’. “When I was invited to an interview at Grant’s I was expecting more of the same, but straight away I knew that it was a very different sort of business. I was ecstatic when I got the phone call offering me a job and I started work and my apprenticeship two weeks later. I’m now well into my apprenticeship, which is delivered at the garage by Babcock. It’s different from my training at college as everything that I learn and do is for real. I think you learn a lot more that way.” “Women who want to work in this business shouldn’t be put off or be scared. It’s not how it used to be, once you find the right employer. The business of automotive mechanics now is more about computers than getting mucky underneath the car - a lot of diagnostics are done through IT. Young women who want to work in the field should stick with their ambitions and dreams - someone WILL give you the opportunity if you show you’re dedicated. “I’m happy to say that at Grant’s I’m just one of the team. The only difference between me and the male service technicians is that I’m not qualified yet but I’m working towards it and one day I will be.”

HOW I KICK-STARTED MY IT CAREER

The reason QA Apprenticeships appealed to me was because of the qualifications I would gain

as well as a year’s worth of experience. Having a proper job in the real world gives you a real sense of satisfaction and independence; it’s a really good feeling to know you are doing something worthwhile that’s making a difference.

The process of starting an apprenticeship was really simple. The application process was detailed so I knew what I was applying for, and then QA Apprenticeships found me a job. It was such a fast process; I finished college, went on holiday, and had a phone call as soon as I got back!

You learn new things everyday and you’re constantly evolving your skills. It’s not like school where you just learn information – you are developing all of your skills. The skills we learn at the training centre are ones we can apply straight away at the employer so we get a chance to apply all our knowledge.

This apprenticeship is helping me in every way possible. I’ve got work experience, qualifications, an opportunity to stay on after my apprenticeship and the possibility of getting promoted and working my way up in the future.

I think I’m likely to get a well paid job after the QA Apprenticeship. If you work hard and move up in the business you can earn a great wage and have no debts to pay off!

CASE STUDY - SERCO

Serco Leisure manage 70 facilities on behalf of 24 clients, including community leisure

trusts, local authorities and universities, providing a comprehensive and high-quality range of health, leisure, fitness, well-being and community-focused services.

Serco Leisure’s Apprentice Academy provides a fantastic opportunity for those wanting to take their first steps towards a career in the leisure industry. The Academy provides a pathway programme encompassing a Level 2 Apprenticeship in Leisure Operations leading to a Level 3 Apprenticeship, for those that excel, in their chosen specialist leisure occupation.

For Tom Greenwich it was providing a better future for his family that gave him the motivation to turn his life around. Upon leaving School Tom faced a long period of unemployment which he felt fuelled a cycle of low self confidence that seemed impossible to break.

Now, having completed an Apprenticeship with Serco and with a new found confidence, Tom is employed as a Gym Instructor at Serco Leisure and is on his way to completing his Level 3 Personal Training Apprenticeship. With further training he plans to go on to Gym management and gain a permanent contract with his employer. Tom says; “My qualification with Serco has given me my independence and confidence back, it has ignited a desire to learn and keep learning to better myself and provide a brighter future for my family.”
